Looking to do a little summer flower gardening? There are many different things to keep in mind during the hot summer months. Here are a few tips and tricks for keeping your flower gardens looking great during the summer.
Don’t water between noon and 5:00 p.m. The water will just evaporate and not sink into the ground like it should. This means your flowers’ roots won’t get the moisture they need. Watering after 6:00 p.m. helps hydrate your flowers and conserves water.
Remember to plant your fall bulbs in June.
To keep your flowers blooming throughout the season, be sure to routinely remove any deadheads.
Fertilize your flowering annuals every two weeks during the hot summer months.
During really hot, dry weather, water your container plants every other day at a minimum.
If you are growing roses, be sure to fertilize them in June.
If flowers seem to be getting out of hand, don’t be afraid to cut them back a bit.
Don’t fall behind on the weeding.
